2020-2021 NBA Offseason Thread: Clippers and Bucks Mad Scramble

[Cail]

Milwaukee Bucks center Robin Lopez is declining his $5 million player option and becoming a free agent, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

bucks looking very strong. always wanted to see jrue on the clips, but no way to really go after him with the assets they had. that starting 5 defense should be insane.

it's gonna be bonkers man Jrue is a cataclysmic perimeter defender. what he did to Lillard in Nola's sweep of them was the stuff of nightmares. straight up might be the best perimeter defender in the league with Kawhi's decline there.

Holy crap it was 3 1sts AND 2 pick swaps for Jrue? Bucks really going all the fuck in

They also currently only have 7 players on the roster, no draft picks, and no cap space.

Would be a shame if Giannis left after this. Not gonna happen but funny if it did.

[Krandor]

Well apparently they're getting the 42nd and 60th picks for tomorrow from the Pels as part of this deal so there's 2 cheap players to add to their roster.

What NOLA is getting from the Bucks

2020 1st (via IND)
2024 right to swap
2025 1st unprotected
2026 right to swap
2027 1st unprotected

good on them for grabbing some 2nd rounders back, they don't even have the MLE left so it's all rookies and vet minimums from here. and it's still a haul but it's Giannis resign or bust. treading water wasn't gonna do it.

[Koyangi]

In the same year the Nets get Harden, the East will be a race between 3 maybe 4 teams and that's it.

Hopefully they can get a decent vet or two to ring-chase for the minimum but who knows

brother, Bogdan is a gifted scorer and passer, dude can go lights out when he's hot and operate as another playmaking hub. Bucks are losing some depth to go top heavy but Jrue + Bogdan are so much fuckin better than the Hill/Bledsoe + Matthews backcourt they rocked last year.

we'll see how it plays out but on paper that starting 5 is absolute nasty and positions them a lot better for postseason success.

I'm a bit more bearish on Bogdan - he should be an upgrade but I watched a fair amount of kings last year and he seemed to disappear a lot between his flashy games. Could've just been a factor of coaching, kings rotation, etc

Will be interesting to see him on a good team though because he is fun to watch

So apparently a Westbrook for Wall (with other assets involved) is being tossed around

Westbrook for Wall is terrible, Beal would hate for that to happen and quite frankly, so would I

Very possible Beal is on the move too

Sounds like Harden to the Nets might be a done deal

If Harden can do the equivalent of what Bosh did when going from the Raptors to the Heat, this could work out well.

[Andalusian girls]

p sure he can't

also he's a better player than Kyrie but no way i see Kyrie accepting 3rd option well

it's a disgusting amount of talent but the locker room issues should be bananas, and all with a rookie coach

[kisada]

bosh was a superior athlete and prototypical floor-spacing big man who could defend all over the court, giving them something most teams rarely have.

james harden is not that guy. earthly strong, but lazy and unaware on defense. even if he was a good defender he's not gonna unlock a super special team defense because he's not a big. on the other side, you'd want him and KD leading the charge on offense, rather than relegating him to a tertiary role.

the whole idea of those 3 guys on the same team makes for great entertainment but that's just a dumpster fire waiting to happen. move kyrie, though, and now i think you have a pretty sick team.

[Krandor]

Apparently the Hawks want Gordon Hayward for some reason
